Projects

SolidWorks® software is required to run and view the .sldprt files in this section.

The project teams worked throughout the course to design and optimize their component, a bicycle frame. Although each team designed the same component, the performance criteria differed. A description of each product, along with these criteria, is included in the table below. A selection of deliverables are listed under Assignments and reflect the design process that students followed. The detailed course syllabus (PDF) provides more information on the project. Updated design requirements (PDF) were also distributed to the teams near the end of the project.
